At the end of inter-semester break STAUCC heads over to Glasgow for the annual “Scottish Universities Sport” Canoe Polo tournament.
The weekend starts with a night out in Glasgow (a highlight for most) where we had a few bears at the Landsdown than onto a club to dance the night away.
The first games were the heats where we (A team) won all our games, and the girls won all but 1 (to Glasgow). This meant the girls were in the final against Glasgow.
We played our B team next which after a shaky start we won 4-1.
Next we faced the mighty Edinburgh. This time the boys focused straight from the start in what turned out to be a physical and fast pace game resulting in a 2-0 win earning ourselves a place in the final.
Next the girls played their Final against Glasgow the raining champs for over 6 years. They all pitched in and stepped their game up. Camille and Kirstie score the winning goals meaning the St Andrews girls were SUS champs!
The men’s final was against the much focused Dundee. We put up a valiant effort surprising Dundee with our blossoming canoe polo abilities. The game was exiting from the start with Dundee getting 2 quick goals. Our determination however shone through as we drew level with 2 goals from myself and Calum. Dundee then unfortunately scored in the last few minutes of play meaning they deservedly became the SUS champs.
Cheers Patrick for organising the comp and well-done everyone
that competed!
